Grub2 also ignores request to not install boot loader.

I installed lucid 10.04 beta 1 to external USB (/sdb). Selected 'Advanced' and deselected 'Install boot loader' (as I use grub2 with my karmic install to boot into lucid). It prompted me - are you sure etc...
It then installed a boot loader anyway on the internal HDD extended partition /sda4.

fdisk -l showed before:
/dev/sda4 123,829,020 146,834,099 23,005,080 5 Extended

and after:
/dev/sda4 123,829,082 146,834,099 23,005,018 5 Extended

Running boot info script shows: "Unknown BootLoader on sda4"
